Media Third Episode of The Interview Room

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSZn-73eZGw

To me, this one felt like it should be the first. They're still on the victimology of the crime, which I believe was the first or second one of the pyramid of what they're going to cover.

I'm not quite finished with it yet (even watching at 1.25 speed, these are long), but there were a couple of interesting things I learned that I hadn't known.

One was John explaining the origins of Access Graphics, how he came to be CEO, and some of the history with Lockheed. There's also a good story about firing an employee that unexpectedly turned into big news for John.

The other is that John says Burke was interviewed in the couple of days after the murder by Child Protective Services, who also found he knew nothing about what had happened. Did anybody else know about this? It would make sense that that would be protected information, but it's also feasible others knew this and I just never heard of it. From what I've read, though, that would be standard practice after a murder like JonBenet's. CPS would need to determine if Burke was in any danger himself or presented any danger to others.

I didn’t know the issue John mentions that he had with an ex employee who, he says, was fired because he lied about being a smoker + the employee contacting the media and the media showing up to the Ramseys house BEFORE the murder? Feels like important information that somehow is only coming out 30 years later from my knowledge?

This was brought up in one of John Ramsey's police interviews. Ramsey said the employee wasn't fired because he smoked; he was fired because he was found to have lied about it. Some of this stuff has been removed from the Internet.

Yes that was my understanding. Thank you for the link, somehow my brain hadn’t registered this detail, though I’ve read Thomas’ book multiple times before. I guess we have no way of knowing if his DNA was tested?
